It is an ancient method of irrigation which then came to be modernized to form our "medieval" well....
Irrigation engineering is related tothe civil engineering. Irrigation engineering is a wide field. There are lot of things to learn. Civil engineer can become a irrigation engineer. that is why you should learn the irrigation engineering.

Mesopotamians used irrigation to water their crops.
Irrigation projects servicing a command area of less than 2000 hectares fall under the category of minor irrigation projects.These projects have received priority in the realm of agricultural development due to their relatively high advantages over the traditional irrigation methods. Minor irrigation projects by definition cost less than Rupees 25 lakhs(2.5 million).They are easy to build and maintain.Their operation is under the farmers control.Other advantages include short gestation period,low investment and low probability of enveronmental erosion. A Large number of these projects are based on ground water utilization using modern methods and technology.It must be ensured while doing so that wells are spaced appropriately to ensure economic sustainibility.Modern irrigation techniques like drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation are used to maximise water utilization and avoid erosion of aquifers. In India NABARD is playing a stellar role in propagating and facilitating Minor irrigation by proving the adequate financial and technical know how to the farmers.

canal irrigation
The type of irrigation used in a hero irrigation scheme is typically referred to as "drip irrigation." This method delivers water directly to the roots of plants through a network of tubes, minimizing water wastage and maximizing efficiency. It is particularly beneficial in arid regions or areas with limited water resources.

The Ahero Irrigation Scheme in Kenya primarily uses gravity-fed irrigation methods. Water is diverted from the Nyando River and distributed through a network of canals and furrows to irrigate crops in the scheme. This method is cost-effective and relies on the natural flow of water to irrigate agricultural lands.

Lake Argyle is the largest artificial lake in Australia. It was made as a part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme.
The Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme is a hydroelectricity and irrigation complex in south-east Australia, in the Australian Alps between Victoria and New South Wales. It is considered to be one of the wonders of the engineering world. The Scheme involves sixteen dams, seven power stations, a pumping station and over 225 km of tunnels, pipelines and aqueducts. The Snowy Mountains scheme generates electricity and redistributes water to the Murray River, where it is used for farming and irrigation.

The Snowy Mountains scheme generates electricity and redistributes water to the Murray River, where it is used for farming and irrigation. The total electricity capability is up to about 3700 MW, which works out to roughly 10% of the needs of New South Wales, though this depends on having enough rainfall and melting snow. The Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme was built between 1949 and 1975.
Australia's Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme was a massive undertaking to redirect the waters of the Snowy Rver and the winter thaw of the Snowy Mountains for more efficient use both in hydroelectricity and for irrigation. Farmers were and are affected differently, according to their location. Initially, the scheme was seen as bad for the property owners in the area. Many farmers lost their livelihood, as stock animals (cattle, horses, etc) were no longer permitted to be grazed in the High Country. However, the Scheme brought many advantages for farmers. It generates electricity and redistributes water to the Murray River, where it is used for farming and irrigation, so farmers downstream are greatly benefitted.
